New Sprint TP2 owner, looking for a cleaned up, optimized ROM without bloatware. After looking through the available ROMS on here, I don't see any listing that they include MS Outlook. Did I miss it or are do none include Outlook? I really need this for biz. Thanks!

What Is The Best And New Rom For Cingular 8125...and Best Wm6 For It
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295575
You first have to know whether you have a G3 or a G4 , you dont want to turn your 8125 into an expensive paper weight. Follow the threads in the wizard forums. Read read and read before you do anything.

Define "Best". Your definition is most likely going to be different than mine. So your needs and wants will not match mine... You need to just take the time to read and look at the options. If you want a ROM that gives you new features and pretty much works right out of the box then stay away from all of the WM6 ROMs for now and go grab Faria's AKU 3.3 (its a sticky at the top). It will setup your GPRS, MMS, and everythign and you'll pretty much be ready to rock and roll when you finish the install (beyond specific apps you use, but some of those (or similar) may already be there too). Its stable, quick and slick.
But if you want Bleeding edge, don't mind doing tweaks and dealing with odd issues, then look at the WM6 ROMs. Currently Most Beautiful Edition (MBE) is the one I run and am overall happy with it (its not perfect though and I find new odd things with it periodically). The Underground edition also seems good, and a new release is supposed to be coming. Also, the Hermes XDA Live ROM is supposed to be being ported and could show up at any time (and from what I've read, that is a really nice ROM on the Hermes, so hopefully will be as good for us on the Wizard).
And with all that said, don't for get the various Molski ROMs out there too. I haven't tried one yet, but everyone that uses them raves about them...

lol sorry about that, i just switched to the htc wizzard, lol im not that of a noob!
Just wondering why you guys are not waiting until MS officially releases WM6 instead of installing this beta/pre-release? Wouldn't it be better (and cleaner) to let MS fix all the bugs and issues?
I don't know if that will happen, it depends on the carrier. They bake their own ROMs after MS does all the coding. The 8525 is out so it seems like that would get WM6 first.
I would like it to happen and look forward to it though.

I see. Just like back when WM5 came on the scene and some carriers didn't want to offer(or sell) its customers the upgrade for their WM2003 SE devices.
i recently purchased a tilt last friday, and it will be here on monday. what are some things i can do to make it better? Such as software, and as ive been reading if you really want to do anything such as software you need the HTC ROM because the AT&T ROM doesnt allow the programs to run correctly? any info appreciated.
Go to the wiki and read, read, read.

Not trying to shortcut my answer, but there is really a great deal to relate. Better to get it straight from the horse's mouth.

What programs do not run correctly with the AT&T ROM? I have the latest AT&T ROM and my programs seem to work fine! I'm also not sure I understand you correctly; you suggest flashing the HTC TyTN 11 ROM over the Tilt ROM to improve program functionality and performance? Please explain the advantage or are you asking if there is and advantage? Wouldn't some of the cooked ROMs be a better option?
I apologize if this is the incorrect forum, but I felt it was a good place, as my question really is for the devs who cook up the ROMs. (Thank you for this forum btw!)
Currently it seems as though there is native Exchange support on only the Rogers and Hero roms. Hopefully I'm correct in this assumption.
My question is thus: I don't really care for the "slowness" of the current Hero ROMs, (though they are getting better) and I've struggled in finding a Rogers ROM that really "does it" for me.
Is there a way to include the native Exchange application into one of the other ROMs out there? (read: Cyan, Dude, JAC, etc)
Again, I apologize if this is a stupid question. I'm just trying to get Exchange working on my G1 so I can get rid of my work Blackberry and only carry around a single phone.
The problem with that is that the Exchange application included in the HTC versions of the ROMs are closed source and require the entire HTC framework they put around it. This makes it difficult for it to work without having to replace the entire rom framework for rom cookers.
So there is not an easy way to get the Exchange app into an already working rom without changing a lot of the inner workings of it to fit. Think of it like a square peg into a round hole.
Have you tried checking out one of the many exchange apps available in market?
I'd recommend the Cyanogenized Rogers RoM. Or if you want an app from the market, I recommend either Moxier Mail or Exchange by Touchdown. Both are amazing exchange applications. Around 25$ last time I checked.
hi i am new to all this but i have managed to hardspl my kaiser and also sim unlocked it and removed the cid.

It is very difficult to recommend one since we all have our own preferences. The best thing to do is decided are you going to go with WM 6.1 or WM 6.5, the next step is to pick a ROM and read the thread about it, seeing what the chef has put into his ROM and then finally...flash...that is the only way that you find the ROM that you like the best....
Good Luck...flashing is half the fun.
what is the differance between the 6.1 and 6.5 is one more stable than the other. also i have seen the athineOS too which i know runs on 6.5 but i dont fully understand what it is

6.1 has been officially been released, but 6.5 has some improvements in it, but it has not been officially released, but the chefs here have been able to craft some pretty good ROMs that are stable and workable.
Myself, I have chosen to stay with 6.1, because I have seen and read to many problems with 6.5 roms. It is ultimately your decision which version to go with.

like greywolf said, you pretty much need to look around and see what you like. i am using the lastest TPC rom and pretty happy with it, but there are a lot other good choices out there right now
As for you using your phone with other sim cards most roms come with "Connection Setup" it usually detects your sim card and asks you if u want to change the setting to the carrier. you can always search for the latest cab on this forum.
Hello,
I got my first windows mobile device Diamond2 as a gift today and looking for a good OS here.
Can you please suggest one for me?
I will also download some from ROM page and try.
Do not forget to look into the WiKi before asking a question
Taken from the WiKi
Shipped ROMs for Topaz
Cooked ROMs for Topaz
Radio ROMs for Topaz
Success,
Senax
Thanks friend for reply.
I was just reading the WiKi page and seen all those.... but I am confused what ROM I should select SO looking for a generic feedback on what is good what is bad.
Actually I dont want ROM to be loaded with so many app. Looking for similar to what I have in mobile now but updated version...
I hope your device has latest Official ROM installed.
You will get all custom ROMs here which are mainly modify version of the Official ROM and has latest SYS/Builds and new Packages (new applications like adobe reader).
These ROMs are good, but NOT all ROM will satisfy every one. i.e ROM1 may good for person1 and person 4, but person 2 and 3 may like ROM2.
So it is good to test all available food and decide which dish tests you a lot .
Hope this will help.
Thanks.
With all the respect to your very correct and right answer (prabhat), this is in my opinion, very first and tha main problem, why the more and more people will switch to devileshed i-phone. The main difference betwen i-phone and wm 6.5 dev. is the "user-friendly" parameter. In no discuss, the wm 6.5 is more professional with more the features then the i-phone. But the people would like tu use the phone with satisfaction and enjoyness. Maybe the right answer for TD2IN will be something from you honest opinion, what do YOU think, that will be best solution for him/her. The ROM, which is stable, fast, simple, user friendly. The people need some help ... Have a nice day.
Here is my answer

Hey I am also new here but managed to get my ROM here
I tried several available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cooked_ROMs_for_Topaz but atlast I am using Photon ROM and I am happy.
You may not like the same, but you need to atleast try 3-4 and select one that suite your usage/style etc.
I liked Dutty's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076
And Photon ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943396
As Dutty is not updating and Photon ha much stable and good so I am using that.
PIng me if you need more help.
Thanks for the reply friend.
I will start my process tonight and let you all know how it goes...
thank you

Did you get your ROM ?
I am still in the process to find my cup of tea...
I started with Dutty's ROM... but this has old version... so started picking others.
Now I have tested below softwares but yet to finilise one:
1) Energy ROM - The Energy Standard one
2) CR192 Mozart OS
3) Photon ROM OS - Stock edition one
I like the stock rom apprach of photon and energy, but energy has lots of application pre installed which I dont want. If I see CR192 that is also very good pick. So I am looking at battery life now and should be finilise in 2 -3 days.
thanks
energy roms and photon roms are great...
Energy ROM FTW
I tried a few ROMs with my Topaz and settled at Energy ROM (with start menu at top).
I used to install a load of stuff with each ROM and this was the most complete ROM with the most flexible Sense UI. The only 2 apps I needed to install on top of Energy is Skype and TomTom Navigator.
I like that it has the manual rotate programmed on holding the Answer button (I used to install a keyboard extender to do it before using Energy ROMs) so it can manually rotate apps not built for auto rotate like Tomtom. More importantly, I can turn off auto rotate on apps coz often I don't want auto rotate like when Im lying on couch/bed reading or using it for music. Fark I hate the UI rotating when I dont want it to! I find auto rotate an annoying gimmick made popular by Apple. Just gimme manual rotate, thx.
I prefer Resco Explorer to Total Commander but I havent bothered to install Resco and live fine with Total Commander that comes with the Energy ROM. I understand that Resco is not freeware so they can't include it.
I like that all the JAVA and DOTNET stuff is all done, has a good wireless hotspot app already, Opera with max tabs set for more than 2 already, TCPMP media player working well, RSS feed app, Twitter, Stocks tab .... I could go on and on. It pretty much has all the good freeware and tweaks and all the hard work already done for you.
I don't use my Topaz daily now, but I still use the same version of Energy ROM on my Blackstone (Touch HD) as my personal mobile phone. I used to also carry the Topaz with a data only SIM in it for internet access, but now I use a Dell Streak (android) to do that. Yeh Im crazy I carry TWO phones everywhere!
IF you wanna get up and going right out of the box, Energy ROM is the most complete and ready for the Topaz.
Instead I Liked Photon ROM and CR192 Mozart and currently running with Photon UX Edition.
I liked Energy, but that is toooooo bulky with so many applications which I dont require and to me looks ugly on my device and I can not remove those. In case of Photon ROM I dont have any extra stuffs so I can Install what I need not what some one gives me to use, whihc I dont require. I understand that there are many who may like what is given on the ROM that they use... but I like to have my stuff in my device.
Photon UX - plus Chinese support + handwriting ftw!
I've tried many ROMs in search of a better replacement for my TD2's sluggish official ROM (SEA version), and I've fallen in love with Photon UX edition and its professional looking background art.
Even better, I have managed to install Xyam's East Asian fonts support, Guobi for pinyin and character inputs, and Samsung's simple + traditional Chinese handwriting input V3.0 (my version comes from sanxingshouxieshurufa_8313 and fits the screen perfectly). Don't bother trying out the menu icon for the Samsung input though, the options don't work, only full screen handwriting is enabled. Otherwise, everything works perfectly as far as I can tell!
Thank you all for this thread which gave me a basic idea of what rom software I should download. I will download Photon ROM now... need to findout which edition I need there
Thank you all.
I have couple of questions in Photon ROM while downloading different edition of it... but this forum prevent me to post in the photon thread. Do I need to contact the owner of photon rom for this?
Thank you all.
